Extract of a letter from Trinidad, dated November 14.

"Miranda is here with his army, in the most deplorable condition. They have hardly bread to eat. After his attack on the Main, he proceeded to Barbadoes, but was careful to land, the shore being lined with sheriffs waiting to lay hold of him for debts contracted there. He immediately left that place, and arrived here a few days ago: in consequence of which a meeting of merchants and others petitioned the government to compel him to leave the place. They have not, however, been successful. The governor has pledged himself that he would carry on no offensive operations while here, unless instructed so to do by his court. He is execrated by his own followers. I really pity a number of those young men whom he has so shamefully deceived. Thus ends this great expedition, and thus I trust will end every expedition that has for its object the revolutionizing and ransacking of any country. Miranda is so much in debt, and so many people ready to lay hold of him, should an opportunity offer, that I think he will never leave this island."
